THI
Madden, by majority Of over six hun
dred votes over his opponent, the Hon.
Mr.. Parsons. Mr. Parsons had come
forward on the same political prln-
ciples as his opponent, but he did so as
private Tory and as a test OF the ques-
tion whether Trinity College was will
ing to continue the system of making
itself mere Parliamentary warming
pan for aspiring lawyers and avowed
governmental nominees and hacks 10
this question Trinity College says, by
| its latest vote, Enthusiastically yes-that
1t is still content to wallow in it's slav-
ish subserviency. Well, since that is
| its mind, by all means let it wallow. A
Government hack is decidedly the fit
test representative for such centre OF
''cultchaw."
